Is Namor asian? Why is Namor asian?
>>
Because an Asian said he'd be interested in playing the role in a movie.
>>
>>83481873
He's not important enough for people to care. That said, he's always had asian features, so they could easily have an asian play him if they ever do put him in a movie.

>unwarranted sense of superiority

He is asian
>>
>>83481873
His last name is Mckenzie. What kind of name is that for an asian?

I still don't know how to answer this question...

I mean look at him >>83482675

He looks Asian.
>>
>>83481873
he's a mutant, you fucking filth
yes, asians are mutants, fuck off
>>
>>83481873
so he's a sappy jappy?
>>
>>83481873

I can't think of a good reason for him not to be.
>>
Why wouldn't he be?
>>
>>83483640
There's no reason for him not to be Asian, but he still isn't Asian.
>>
>>83482027
He looks oriental as fuck.

Its weird.
>>
>>83481873
Did u seriously have to make a new thread about this?
For the last goddamn time.
He's never been given asian features.
His father was american caucasian and atlanteans are blue, without any asian features.
His original dorito head and exagerated eyebrows were just giving him a distinct appearance.

My vote:
>>
Eh, it's not exactly as though his ethnic origin really has anything to do with the character. Just change his last name from McKenzie to Yang or Nakamoto or something, and bam, problem solved. I mean, it's not like there aren't any asian sailors.
>>
>>83484469
He's got squinty eyes and dark hair.
I honestly thought he was Japanese, which made sinking German Uboats cooler.
>>
Wouldn't undersea people's eyes be larger in order to see better in the dark?
>>
>>83484540

Or just keep it McKenzie but focus on Atlantians looking Asian because they tend to sort of look Asian sometimes.
>>
>>83484700
Yeah, that works too. Honestly as far as ethnicity swapping goes, this is like a fucking non-issue. Like, Captain America only really works as Irish or some other white but oppressed in the early 1900's group of people, but Namor could be literally any skin color on the planet.
>>
>>83484844
Why not make him African American then?
>>
>>83481873
He's a human/atlantean from Atlantis. Atlantis isn't asian.

Mckenzie or Makenji?

Then why is he anglo in every incarnation?
>>
>>83485176
His father's name was Leonard McKenzie. His mother's name was Princess Fenn.

His father is on the left and his mother is on the right in the picture.

He looks like an animu character, namely that one guy that plays jap board games or whatever and sweats a lot.

>>83485477
no i meant it the other way around

>>83485594

That's the problem. It shouldn't be a hollywood movie. Or at least if it is, work with toho or something.
>>
>>83485594
It's Ghost in the Shell, it can sell itself with a cheaper (than Scarlett Jo). Basically anyone could do it.

>>83485208

Because in every incarnation he's based on the original McKenzie origin, which a live action adaptation should be. However, he tends to have Asian features. so fuck it, hire an Asian actor and say he takes after his mother.

Last eye checked, every human have similar sized eyeballs.
>>
>>83488596
Not the same sized eye-lids.

Maybe it's his Atlantean heritage?

Nothing to do with anime eyes then.

Unlike white people, who have eyes covering half of their skulls?
